Background: Mimosa pudica is a tropical weed that belongs to the legume family and is native to South America. This plant is also found in different regions of India such as Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, Orissa, and Tamil Nadu. It is a known plant that can show thigmonasty. The plant is known to possess diverse biological properties, such as antimicrobial activity, antidiabetic activity, anticonvulsant activity, antivenom activity, antiulcer activity, antifertility, antioxidant effect, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory activity, wound healing effect, antitumor activity, antifungal activity, antinociceptive activity, diuretic effect, etc. The herb is traditionally being used for ages, to treat urogenital disorders, dysentery, sinus piles, and used for wound healing. Objective: Review stresses on plant movement displayed by the plant Mimosa pudica and the responsible phytocompounds. The bioactive compounds isolated by various researchers to date and the pharmacological activities displayed by the plant are thoroughly reviewed. Methods: The literature related to phytochemical and pharmacological studies has been collected from various databases such as Scopus, PubMed, various student papers, publications, and internet sources from 1877 to 2021. Results: The net result of the study showed that Mimosa pudica possesses various phytochemicals that are responsible for plant movement and pharmacological activities that are further proved by computational studies. Further, nanoparticles and hydrogels from Mimosa pudica are been studied in recent years for their various applications. Conclusion: The herb seems to be a promising natural medicine to undergo further investigation as evidenced by its diverse biological profile.

In order to overcome the negative potential risks of conventional nanoparticles and achieve the goal of human therapeutic uses, sustainable nanoparticles must be synthesized. In this paper, we have created a simple method for producing copper nanoparticles using green chemistry. With the use of Cassia auriculata's floral aqueous extract, copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were effectively produced. In a UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, sythesized CuNPs detect absorbance at 276 nm, a hallmark of copper nanoparticles. The relevant functional groups involved in lowering and stabilizing CuNPs were found using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. CuNPs shape, crystalline phase, and elemental composition were seen using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis spectroscopy, and other techniques. Moreover, CuNPs' antibacterial and antifungal properties produced good inhibitory action against the pathogens that were put to the test. Furthermore, at low doses, CuNPs had no effect on the cytotoxicity of the cell lines MDCK and Caco-2. CuNPs may thus be turned into nano-drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases and tumour research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
